If you're a blues fan, and who here isn't, and like the show Bizarre Foods America on the Travel Channel tonight's episode is a must see. The host, Andrew Zimmern is going to eat his way down the Mississippi Blues Trail sampling such southern delicacies as smoked bologna sandwiches, deep fried chicken livers and ho-made pork rinds. I'm sure there will be some musicians we're all familiar with featured. I love this show. You learn about different cultures through the food they eat. Some of it looks great, some disgusting, but it's always entertaining!

Reminds me of the old joke about a guy who wanders into a dive bar in the middle of the Nevada desert. He sees a sign on the wall that says "Ham Sandwichs-$1.00 Hand Jobs-$10.00" So he asks the old barmaid if she's the one who gives the handjobs. "Yes I am" she replies. The guy says "Well then, wash your hands twice and make me a ham sandwich"

Ain't no way in the world I'm goin' out that front door...

Everybody looks good at the starting line. Get on your mark,get ready but you better keep this in mind. You can hit the ground running like you're shot from a gun but going the distance is the hard part son. Everybody looks good at the starting line.

I rarely watch the show because it's a bit too off the wall for me but I may have to make an exception in this case.

Great episode, if you missed it you should look for a re-run. I especially liked the "Chinese Rednecks." Their fusion of oriental recipes with local southern ingredients looked delicious. Where else in the world could you get Cantonese crawfish and stirred fried collared greens cooked by a guy who looks like an extra in a Jackie Chan movie but dresses and talks like Larry the Cable Guy?

They ended up at Red's in Clarksdale eating ribs and listening to Jimmy "Duck" Holmes and Watermelon Slim.

How about that BLT (bacon, lettuce and testicle) sandwich?!

I was raised on a farm in Kentucky so things like that really don't gross me out as bad as some folks. Pig ears can be really, really bad or really, really good. Like Zimmern said, you have to know how to cook them!

Saw the show last night, thanks for the heads up!

I'd give it a try.

I grew up in a working class Italian-American family; we ate tripe, liver and what my family called Capuzzelle (lambs head), on a weekly basis.

My mother thought “A Brain is a Terrible Thing to Waste” long before those anti-drug commercials.

Brains and scrambled eggs are a treat.

2 tbsp. butter
4 beaten eggs

Cover brains with cold water, add vinegar, and soak for 30 minutes. Drain. Remove loose fatty membrane. Cover brains with water, add 1/2 teaspoon salt, and simmer 20 to 30 minutes. Drain and chill in cold water. Finely chop brains. Brown in butter. Combine eggs, milk, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add to brains. Turn heat low. Don't disturb mixture until it starts to set on bottom and sides, then lift and fold over with wide spatula so uncooked part goes to bottom. Avoid breaking up eggs any more than necessary. Continue cooking for 5 to 8 minutes, until eggs are cooked throughout, but still glossy and moist.
Remove from heat and serve immediately.

Oh yeah! Brains and eggs are delicious! Another of my favorites that many people refuse to try is tongue. Prepared properly if you ate some without being told what it was you would swear it was a tenderloin of high end beef Angus beef!

That does sound like some kind of freaky act that would cost more!

I did see the show and for the most part I wouldn't have a problem eating the food sampled-with the kool aid pickles and the brains being the notable exceptions.

When Edith Bunker offered Archie some tongue for dinner, he said-
"I'm not eating something that came out of a cow's mouth. Fry me up a couple eggs, Edith."
